I have a 250GB drive on my PC full of mp3's. I want to access them via my mini mac using iTunes. What's the best way to go about it? Thanks

Mount the drive via "Network" in OS X. The folder has to be shared.

I have a similar setup.

Is there a way to add the mp3s into the itunes library without copying them over to the mac's HD? I simply just want the songs to appear in the library so I can stream them from the networked drive.
